Edward (E.J.) Thompson first met Rabindranath Tagore on the day the poet learned he had won the Nobel Prize in 1913, and became closely involved with him and his circle during the preparation of "Rabindranath Tagore: Poet and Dramatist", the first major English-language study of his writings. Drawing on his father's letters and journals, eminent historian E.P. Thompson not only traces their stormy friendship, but also offers fresh insights into Anglo-Indian relations in the first quarter of this century.
